Like being on vacation year round! Stroll to the farmers market, hop onto the Croton Aqueduct Trail for a walk, jog or bike ride, head to Waterfront Park for a sunset jazz concert or launch your kayak from your rented slip for a paddle alongside the Palisades. And for those city bound -- a short walk to the MetroNorth Hudson line Dobbs Ferry train station for a quick ride into Grand Central. Elegantly poised in historic Riverview Manor, 17 Oliphant is perfectly paired with its curated and natural landscape. Inspired gardens and grounds, second to none, take you away, enhancing everyday living experience with natural beauty. Originally constructed in the 1950's, the home was re-invented by a Rivertowns architect in 2011 with an eye toward mid-century modern design noted for open plan layout, unadorned lines and inviting nature's beauty inside. The exterior's clean lines echo the elegant simplicity indoors; the interior is distinguished for its uncompromising detail, and meticulously curated finishes. The light-filled social/dining room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone feature wall with 48" Sparks gas fireplace framed by custom windows. Multiple full-height windows sharpen your gaze onto the front yard, back patio with koi pond and prominent waterfall, authentically articulated with stone ledges and outcroppings The kitchen features a 4-seater Silestone island, stainless steel GE Monogram appliances including an induction stovetop, Advantium 3-in-1 convection, speed and microwave oven and contemporary cabinetry. Expanded in 2011, the restful primary bedroom takes every advantage of the soothing sights and sounds of the waterfall garden. Full-sized windows and sliding glass doors give direct access to the dreamy backyard. This boutique residence expresses the perfect trifecta: tranquility, privacy, and a crisp modern aesthetic yielding an exceptional lifestyle -- your personal shangri-la! © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
